Sony has sent over a few details on the horror film from director Lucky McKee...

Further Details:
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has announced the release of Lucky McKee's horror film The Woods, which tells the story of some strange occurrences that take place in the woods surrounding an all-girls boarding school. The disc will be available on the 3rd of October at a retail price of around $24.96 and include both an anamorphic widescreen version at the film's original 2.35:1 aspect ratio and a pan & scan version, along with an English Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track and optional English and French subtitles. Extras will include an audio commentary with the director and cast, deleted scenes, and two featurettes entitled 'Girl vs. Girl' and 'Legend on Set: Bruce Campbell'. We've attached our first look at the artwork below.

As you can see we now have a look at the art (ugh), thanks to DVD Active, and have learned that the features included will be a commentary with the director and stars, one deleted scene, and the featurettes "Girl Vs. Girl" and "Legend: On the Set with Bruce Campbell".

I have. I watched SICK GIRL with a friend when it came out on DVD recently and we both loved it. If you're a fan of the film MAY then it's a must see. It's one of my very favorite Masters of Horror episodes and one of the only ones at this point that I just need to buy the DVD of from the store that has all of the extras on it. I'm dying to see see/hear all of the goodies from McKee, Bettis, Jaye Barnes-Luckett, etc... The other ones I have just been buying previously viewed from the video store because they include two episodes on a disc, but no extras. Besides, I don't care to have Deer Woman, which is the one Sick Girl is featured with. That is one of the worst MOH episodes I've seen. In fact, it is the worst one I've watched all the way through. Chocolate I didn't finish. Anyway, if you haven't seen the MOH episodes the best thing I can tell you is to rent them from Movie Gallery, where you get two on a disc. That's two hours of entertainment so it's well-worth the price of renting.

Anyway, just don't expect SICK GIRL to be straight-out horror. It's more like a sweet little romance with a horror twist. Still, definitely worth seeing! And for straight guys and lesbians it has full frontal female nudity and girl-on-girl action, which might give you some incentive to rent it .

Eventually they are supposed to release a boxed set, but I'm not sure how they'll be doing it, and I imagine it's going to be quite expensive. I can't see it not having a retail price of over $100.

Given the way the film has been treated by the studio and the supposed disdain the director has for MGM over the whole matter I'd be surprised if there was one, at least from the director anyways.Perhaps one was recorded way back in 2004 when things still looked peachy? Perhaps the value of getting his thoughts on his movie down outweighs his hatred for MGM? I would be very disappointed to see this disc arrive with nothing on it, especially if it's good...or maybe McKee will have revenge (and a Special Edition) in the cards when he makes his third feature.

It's a shame how filmmakers put so much effort into a production, just to see it go straight to video. Maybe it's not gory enough to attract a young audience. Horrors a win or lose genre, considering the fact that movies can become cult hits, like Saw, or get released straight to video. Hopefully it finds an audience.

Oh man, it sucks it had to go STV. And it's not even because it's a bad movie, it's just because for one it's not that mainstream and also they can't decide how to market it and don't want to put money into releasing it in theaters because it likely wouldn't be some big hit. I'm at least happy it's getting released though and I'm dying to see it! Should be great! I doubt it will be as great as MAY, but it will still likely be one of the best horror movies released this year. I will definitely try and push it at the video store and if we get the poster I'll insist that it goes up. I will rent it right away! Can't wait!
